Join Douglas Adams’s hapless hero Arthur Dent as he travels the galaxy with his intrepid pal Ford Prefect, getting into horrible messes and generally wreaking hilarious havoc. Dent is grabbed from Earth moments before a cosmic construction team obliterates the planet to build a freeway. You’ll never read funnier science fiction; Adams is a master of intelligent satire, barbed wit, and comedic dialogue. The Hitchhiker’s Guide is rich in comedic detail and thought-provoking situations and stands up to multiple reads. Required reading for science fiction fans, this book (and its follow-ups) is also sure to please fans of Monty Python, Terry Pratchett’s Discworld series, and British sitcoms.

    Liked 2/5 books, to be honest. The 3rd was okay, but I don't even remember anything about the last two except the scene about making love in midair and the fact that the rest was boring.

    No soy mucho de ciencia ficción pero este libro es increíble. Divertido, interesante, con acción y adelantado a su tiempo.

    This was my childhood fav. I love it so much reading it again and again as an adult as well. So worthwhile and hilarious.

    Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.”
  • Yana Manukhinahas quoted8 years ago
    “Drink up,” said Ford, “you’ve got three pints to get through.”
    “Three pints?” said Arthur. “At lunchtime?”
    The man next to Ford grinned and nodded happily. Ford ignored him. He said, “Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.”
